Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

A wardrobe must!!! I wear J.M.Weston, Hermes, YSL, Gucci, Prada, LV, Jill Sander, Sergio Rossi, Dries Van Noten, Churches and could not live without my Birkenstocks.

A foot saver - I ordered these for my son after he was diagnosed with a severe case of plantar fasciitis. He could not walk on his foot. The Dr. recommended he go buy a pair of Birkenstocks. After my son received these he told me that these shoes were VERY comfortable the minute he put them on. A real foot saver for him to walk around with the support he needed. I ordered them from Zappos because he was limping so bad a trip to the mall would have been painful. Thank you Zappos for your excellent product lines and customer service!!

The best sandal ever! I recently purchased my third pair of Birkenstock Arizona soft footbed sandals. They are by far the most comfortable sandals I own. These Birkenstocks do not have to be broken in. They feel like they were made for your foot the first time you wear them. I'll be sad when fall arrives and it is too cool to wear my Birkenstocks!

WOW I love these Birks! The soft bed was the best improvement they have ever made in the shoe. You can tell the difference right away and no breaking in time needed. It's not a cloud, but it is awfully close! I hope they make more styles with this foot bed! I got the reg and I am at the last hole, they are fine in the foot bed, maybe half size smaller than they say. I got 39's

Love this shoe! I love Birkenstock's. This is my second pair of Arizona’s with the soft footbed and don't think I would want to try any of the other Birkenstock sandals as I am so satisfied with this one. However, the straps are slightly looser on this new pair, but I think by punching new holes that this should take care of this minor issue.

Perfect fit, perfect service - These Birks fit perfectly, were comfortable immediately upon putting them on, and as usual, Zappos out-does every other merchant I have ever shopped with, online or in stores. I have never had so much great service and doubt that I will ever buy shoes from anywhere else.

Loved the iron color - one foot fit well, the other not so well. I’m sure it’s my foot, not the shoe. Lovely

The oiled leather was too harsh on my bony feet. Ordered The Suede leather in soft footbed.

Loved the way they looked but the medium width was way too loose for my wide foot! Sadly have to return and order a narrow instead.

I got these to take the pressure off the stubborn tendonitis I'm having in the ball area of my foot, and they're getting that job done. My foot is feeling much better already after one day of wearing them. The only issue is the straps are rubbing the tops of my feet under the buckle. I'm hoping that'll get better as the leather contours to my feet with more wear, because shoes this ugly (sorry, but they are) really gotta be super comfy all over.

I guess Birks aren't for me. I have a vegan pair no longer sold which I purchased directly from Birkenstock. They are an Arizona Synthetic material, Medium/narrow, EVA/cork sole. They are comfortable. I thought these being a soft footbed would be...SOFT. They have a harder sole than my vegan ones. The footbed also seem a tad smaller than my vegan ones. Going back.

I love these sandals, but I probably won't buy them again unless they're offered in larger sizes. I'm a 47 or 48 in some shoes and Zappos didn't even offer the 48, which I tend to gravitate towards for shoes I wear in the house. 47, which is my true size, felt snug.

I don't love the shade of blue as much as I have older blue hues - bit too light for my taste

I was looking fwd to getting these for orthotic purposes. I got the women’s 11-11.5 N. The toe area is cut so angled that my toes hang over the edge. I don’t think going up one size is going to fit right either. Returning them. Bummed.

I’ve been a fan of Birkenstock shoes for many years. I own numerous pairs in many different styles. These are definitely a lot stiffer leather than any of the others I’ve ever owned. It’s like they’ve switched to a much lower grade of leather than before to cut cost. I will keep them but they do rub blisters on my feet where no other Birkenstocks ever have. Hopefully they will soften some over time. If not I will wear only with socks on unfortunately.

This was a gift and I was very disappointed that it was shipped in an envelope, making a mess of the box. $150 pair of shoes and a squished box.

So far so good.

I normally wear a 7.5 shoe. This brand only comes in whole sizes so I sized up. It's a little long but I think the 7's would have been too short. Also I had to order a Narrow, as the Wide was much too wide for my foot. The shoes will eventually be comfortable but they're going to need to be broken in - especially around the toe area.

I like these but for a Birkenstock they are really stiff

Size and fit were perfect! My old pair of Arizona’s were falling apart so these are similar, but the harder leather cut into the top of my foot. I should have just gotten the Arizona’s with the soft suede straps. Lesson learned… I’m sure these will eventually break in.

I love Birkenstock sandals however, this style was painful where the strap attached to the sole on my right foot. I couldn't walk without pain. Left foot fit fine.

Left foot fit fine and was comfortable, however the right sandal was very painful where the strap met the sole. I couldn't walk without pain.
